I was thrift shopping the other day. Which you know is one of my favorite things to do. And I found the cutest iron lamp. But only one of them. So I couldn’t use it for my master bedroom.

But I figured it would be perfect in my family room. The only problem was it didn’t come with a Farmhouse Lamp Shade. So of course I had to give it DIY lampshade makeover. If you have been wanting to find the perfect Farmhouse lamp for your home you will never have to wonder again how to recover a lampshade.

After Pinteresting for what seemed like hours… I couldn’t find a Farmhouse Lamp Shade I was in love with so I had to do a DIY lampshade makeover.

Let’s get down to business! Keep reading to learn exactly how to make your own DIY Lampshade from Scratch out of chicken wire.

Items you will need for this DIY chicken wire project:

So to start out I cut the middle of the lamp shade. I left the circular top and bottom part of the lamp shade.

I painted the circular part of the lamp shade black so it matched the iron lamp.

Next you will want to wrap chicken wire around the lamp shade circle frame. Because that is the easiest way to measure how much chicken wire you should cut.

And then you will hot glue chicken wire to the lamp shade circle frame.

And that’s it. Just attach the lamp shade back onto the lamp. So here is an up close of the chicken wire lamp with the gorgeous Edison light bulb I bought for it.

I absolutely love the way it turned out. It was such a fun DIY chicken wire project. I hope you liked this DIY lampshade makeover.

All things considered I would make this DIY lampshade makeover over and over. Because it was easy and affordable!

Items you will need for this project:

It’s such an easy project and you will barely spend anything to make this adorable DIY Wood Bead Garland.

So if you plan to make a few of these DIY Wood Bead Garlands, then you will want to get this package of wood beads. And trust me you will want to make a few of them! 🙂

I hot glued the tip of the twine. So that it was easier to pull through the bead.

There was a pattern I used for my DIY Wood Bead Garland. I put 3 large beads together than a smaller one after. I liked the way it looked with a little bit of diversity in size.

You will have to measure how long you want the DIY Wood Bead Garland to be. Because that depends on how many wood beads you will string on your DIY Wood Bead Garland.

Of course I made multiple DIY Wood Bead Garlands. And they were different lengths because I used them as decor in different places in my home.

After I was done stringing on the wood beads I tied a knot in the end of the DIY Wood Bead Garland.

Then you will want to wrap the twine around your hand about 10 times. It could possibly be more or less. It depends on how full you want your tassel.

It’s super easy to make the tassel. I cut the ends and attached it to the end of the DIY Wood Bead Garland.

Like I mentioned before, I made multiple DIY Wood Bead Garlands. And I displayed them all over my home. You can see them below.

Because these DIY Wood Bead Garlands are so quick and easy you will want to make a few.
